When my children were learning to drive, I admonished them to be careful and avoid accidents. I cited my own record of safe driving. In 35 years of driving, I would say, I’ve never been in a wreck. Do likewise. My admonition failed. Each of the kids got in a fender-bender. It failed in another regard. After one of their accidents, my brother ratted me out. He noted to the kids that I had been driving for 36 years, and had crashed a car a mere month after getting my license.
